How to Care for Your Trees in Winter

As winter approaches, now is the time to prepare your trees for optimal health and vitality throughout the year. At The Tree People, we specialise in expert arboriculture services that not only enhance the beauty of your landscape but also ensure the long-term health of your trees.

Benefits of Winter Tree Pruning:

1. Promotes Growth and Health: Pruning during dormancy stimulates new growth in spring, resulting in stronger, healthier trees. Our certified arborists carefully evaluate each tree’s growth patterns and health status to perform precise pruning that encourages optimal development.
2. Shape and Structure: Our corrective pruning techniques maintain a balanced canopy, enhancing tree aesthetics and reducing the risk of structural issues during storms. By removing crossing or crowded branches, we improve air circulation and minimize the risk of branch breakage under heavy snow or strong winds.
3. Disease Prevention: Removing dead or diseased branches minimizes the spread of infections, preserving the overall health of your trees. Our team is trained to identify early signs of diseases and pests, providing proactive solutions to protect your trees from potential threats.

Mulch for Your Garden:

After pruning, we provide you with woodchip that offer lots of benefits for your garden:

• Weed Suppression: Mulch acts as a natural barrier against weeds, reducing the need for herbicides and manual weeding. We use high-quality mulch materials that not only suppress weeds but also enhance the visual appeal of your garden beds.
• Soil Moisture Retention: Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, crucial for root health during winter and reducing water consumption. This is particularly beneficial in colder climates where soil moisture retention can be challenging.
• Soil Vitality: Over time, mulch decomposes and enriches the soil with nutrients, promoting healthier plant growth and long-term soil vitality. Our mulching techniques support sustainable gardening practices by improving soil structure and fertility over multiple growing seasons.
